Remarkable  Development

reading  of    the    b:!;    to    ratify   an  agree- 
ment bearing  date   the  6th   day  of  June, 
1911.   between   His   Majesty   the  King   In 
right    of    tlie    province    of    British    Col- 
umbia,   the    city    of    Prince    Rupert,    the 
Grand    Trunk   Pacific    railway    company, 
and    the   Grand   Trunk    Pacific    Develop- 
ment    company,     stated     that    the    new 
terminal    city    of    the     north     was    now 
some     four     years    old.       In    that    short 
time    it    had    attained      to      considerable 
commercial    conscqucmo    ami    so    far   as 
nls  information  nent.  lie  iieUoveri  that  it 
had    today    a    population    of    upward    of 
6,000.      In    addition     to     this,    municipal 
works    and    Improvement!:    had    been   ef- 
tabllBhed  running  Into  liundreds  of  thou- 
sands   of    dollars    while    the    residential 
and    business    properties    would    aggre- 
gate several   millions.      Referring   to  the 
wonderful   growth   of   this   n"W   northern 
terminal,     the    First    Minl.«ter    remarKed 
that  no  surprise  would  bo  felt  at  the  re- 
markable development  .-ilready  achieved. 
It   had    been   anticipated    from    the    first 
when    the   site    was    sele<;ted    as   that   of 
tho  terminus   of  the  Grand  Trunk  Paclf 
ic   on    the   Pacific   seaboard,    that   It   was 
Inevitably  destined  to  become  one  of  the 
most  important  of  Pacific   ports.     There 
was  now  no  doubt  in  regard  to  the  early 
completion    of    the    railway,    nor    could 
anyone   question   the   extent   or  value  of 
the  vftst  tributary  country,  capalblo  when 
developed  of  supporting  a  city  of  sever- 
al   hundred    thousand    souls. 

Tn  arldition  to   the   large  tracts  of  ag- 
ricultural   and    mineral    lands    tributary 
to  Prince  Rupert,  there  were  in  the  im- 
mediate    vicinity     fisheries     which     per- 
haps, in  their  extent  and  arletyv,   would 
rank  as  the  greatest  In  the  world.     Deep 
waller  fisheries  on  this  coast  were  as  yet 
In    a    primitive    stage    of    development. 
River    fishing    heretofore    had    been    the 
first    consideration,    and    deep    sea    flsh- 
Inff  next.      Of  late    the   deep   .sea   flsher-

The  farmers  of  British  Columbia  were 
favored   yesterday  with   a   frank  expres- 
sion of   the   intentions   of   the  provincial 
government    In    regard    to    the    proposi- 
tion   brought    forward    by    them    of    In- 
stalling a   government   owned    telephone 
throughout    the    province,    and    while    It 
was   impossible   for  them   to   understand 
from    the    remarks    of    the    premier    that 
it  was  in  any  way  inteded  to  meet  with 
the  request  of  the  convention,  as  he  went 
out   of   his   way    to   clearly    explain      the 
difficulties    of    attempting    such    a    gi- 
gantic scheme  at  this  time,  they  evinced 
the   heartiest  appreciation    of   his   state- 
ment and  explanation  and   it  is  safe  to 
say  that  the  negative  was  received  with 
as   much   grace  as  a  positive  could   have 
been,   the   delegates  apparently  realizing 
to   a   man    that    the   task      proposed      by 
them    for    the    government    was    a    little 
ahead  of  the  times  or  the  circumstances 
of   tho   province. 

As    the   resolution   regarding   the   tele- 
phones   bad    been    referred    back    to    the 
committee  and  brought  In  again  In  a  re- 
vised   form,   it    was   passed,   and    a   com- 
mitter   of    the    convention    Appointed    to 
interview     the    premier    on    the    subject. 
Another    resolution    requesting    the    gov- 
crnment  to  iimulm  i-to  vue  v._o.  j 
Irrigation  throughout  the   province  with 
a  view  to  having  such  works  municipal- 
ized was  also  passed.     Perhaps  the  most 
important   measure   passed     during     the 
session  Was  that  relating  to  the  loaning 
of  money  to  the  farmers  in  order  to  as- 
sist   them   In    the   clearing   of   land     and 
Improving   their  farms.      In   the  evening, 
after   two  days  of  arduous,   co-operative 
work,   resulting  In   the  passing  of  many 
important   resolutions    bearing      on      the 
condition  of  the  farmer  In  the  province, 
the  convention  closed  with  hearty  votes 
of  thanks  to  Mr.  Scott,  the  deputy  mln- 
Ister   of    agriculture,    Mr.    Craddock,   the 
secretary,   and   the  depajrtment.     As  Mr 
Scott  said  m  closing  the  convention  and 
returning  thanks,   the  gathering  was  by 
far    the    most   important   ever    held,    and 
also   the    most    harmonious.

Premier  McBrlde,  in  the  course  of  his 
speech,  said:     It  Is  not  difficult  for  me 
to   note   with   what   substantial   progress 
the   work   of   your   association   has   gone 
along.      I  am   fully  advised  of  the  work 
you    have   undertaken   and   1   can  assure 
you   that   I    take   the  deepest  interest  in 
everything   that  engages   your   attention 
becaus-  I  realize  that  u-hat  Is  of  Interest 
to   you    gentlemen    Is   of   interest   to   the 
Whole  of  the  province.     It  is   tru«  that 
the   government  has  lent  very  consider- 
able asflBtanfe  towards  the  furtherance 
of  your  efforts  and   that  this  has  been 
well    recognized    by    the    farming    com- 
munity  of   the  province  la  reflected     I 
think   in   the    numbers   that    have    come 
here  to  take  part  in  this  annual  conven- 
tion, because  I  am  aure  that  If  th«  farm- 
ers of  the  province  did  not  reaU«e  that 
the  department  and  the  govetnroant  was 
behind  them  they  would  not  dlBpU/  the 
same  intolllgent  interest  In  theae  meat- 
ings,   which    m    their    very    easenc*    are 
means  of  getting  into  closer  and  'rlend- 
Her  touch  with  each  other.     It  muat  be 
at   a   tremendoua   ■acrlflce   to   aome  of 
you   that  this  convention  is  "O  well  at- 
tended and  I  think  that  that  reflects  all 
the  more  credit  on  you  and  the  depart-

VANCOtTVER,  Jan.  26.— Some 
discussion  varied  the  P^^^^^^f  *"^' *' Jf/. 
Htlernooa  session  of  tho  Baptls 
Union  today  over  a  delict  '"e"^  °"^<^^ 
in  the  report  o£  the  president  of  th" 
Brandon  college  board.  Rev.  A.  P.  Mc- 
Diarmld.  Rev.  Mr.  Robertson  asked 
particulars  of  this  deficit,  and  Mr^ 
Marshall  and  other  delegates  desired 
similar   Information. 

Mr.  McDlarmld  replied  that  he 
not  been  given  the  statement  of  the 
cash  book,  only  .that  of  tho  standing 
at  the  bank,  and  endeavored  to  Uml 
more  documents  throwing  light  on  the 
growth  of  tho  deficit.  When  his  ef- 
forts failed  to  satisfy  some  of  the  gen- 
tlemen present,  he  WBrmly  resented 
what  he  regarded  as  their  lack  of  con- 
ndcnce    In   him. 

"V-/here    has  the    balance    from 
v^ar    gone?"    asked    a    member, 
kaps   .wmeone   has    It    In   his     pocket, 
replied    Mr.    McDiarmld. 

Mr      Maclean     assured     the    meeting 
that   the   returns  from    the   flolds   sup- 
plied   by    Brandon      college      compared 
favorably   with    those  of   any   other   In 
the  Dominion,  and  the  condition  of  the 
college   was   second    to   none   In    Mani- 
toba. Another  gentleman  explained,  as 
one  of  the  board,  that  the  statement 
given    to    Mr.    McDiarmld   waa    simply 
an  account  of  the  working  ot  the  col- 
lege duHng  the  actual  year,  and  ^^hat 
he  wa»  instructed  to  report.  Mr,  Wol- 
vcrton    explained    that    he    had    aaked 
the  queatlon   simply   because  he     was 
aware   of   the   work   of     the     forward 
movement  and    had    hoped    that    they 
would   have   wiped   out   this     balance. 
Mr   McDiarmld  regretted  that  the  only 
dtacuaaton   that  Ilia   report  had   given 
riM  to  ahottld  be  on  a  nnanolal  point. 
The  college  waa  not  run  for  bualoeaa 


Prominent  among  the  visitors  lo  Vic- 
toria yesterday  were  the  ilon.  James 
Johnson  speaker  of  the  Manitoba  leg- 
islature,' a..d  Mrs.  Johnson.  They  H.fl 
on  route  to  Ihc  prairie  cipltal  after  an 
extended  holiday  Jaunt  through  the 
southern  states  and  terminated  for  a 
time  at  Los  Anlgeles. 

ypea' Ing    to    the    Colonist    yesterday 
afternooon    .Mr.    Johnson    said    that    he 
was   fi'.mly  of   the  opinion   that   the   cli- 
mate   nt    Vlclorla    was    superior,    on 
whole,     to     that  %»f     T,o<s    Angeles, 
had   visited   Victoria    on   a    previous    oc- 
casion   some    three    years    ago    and    was 
therefore     familiar     with,  tho     climatic 
conditions  here.     In  niRklng-xomparison 
with    the  climate  of  southern   California 
•he   had   in   mind   the   winter   season,   and 
he   was   satisfied    that    Victoria    was    the 
more    desirable    place    of    residence.      In 
the     California     city     he     found       that 
while   the   weather  was   bright   and   sun- 
ny  tl:e  absence  of   sufficient  rain   tends 
iJ   lassitude    and    there   is    a   dryness    in 
the    atmosphere    tliat    soon    becomes    op- 
pressive    to     those     accustomed     to     the 
more   bracing   climate   of    Canada. 

Though  not  as  yet  finaturially  interest- 
ed   in    Victoria,    Mr.    Johnson    expressed 
himself    as    of    the    opinion     that    there 
VMS  no  point  on   the  whole  coast   which 
had  a  brighter  future.     He  believed  that 
almjst  immediately   the  city  would    feel 
the  stimulus   which   would    result   In   the 
upbuilding  of  a  great  commerclRl  centre, 
r.cfcrrln"  to  conriitlons  In  his  own  pro- 
vim'e,   the  "speaker  of  the  Manitoba   leg- 
islature  said   that  'he   would   be   a      bpld 
man    who    wo,uld    attempt   to    set   a   limit 
to     the    growth    and    expansion    of    the 
Northwest.      The    magnificent    crops 
the    past    two    years    had 
to    the    whole    world 
growing    area    of    Canada    was    capable 
of     inimitable    development     and     there 
could  not  be  a    shadow  of  a  doubt   that 
the    western    section    of    the    DoiPinlon 
was    to    go    on    progressing    with    undi- 
minished  vigor. 

Mr.  Johnson  also     expressed  the  opin- 
that    once    Victoria    obtained 


that  he

ing m  Ulster  hall  but  that  he  Intended 
to  deliver  a  speech  somewhere  In  Bel- 
fast   on    February   8. 

-so   far  as   the  Ulster  Unionist  coun- 
cil   is    concerned,"    says    T,-ord      London- 
derry's reply,  "ts  malti  objection,  which 
1.,    in    the   interest   of   law   and    order.   Is

VANCOUVER.  Jan.  26.— Kor  sheer 
nerve,  the  hold-up  and  robbery  this 
morning  of  the  Hlllcrest  branch  of  the 
Roval  Bank  of  Canada,  at  the  corner 
of  Main  street  and  Seventh  avenue, 
must  be  awarded  the  palm  In  compe- 
tition with  all  the  hold-ups  which  have 
taken  place  In  Vancouver  during  the 
last  few  years.  The  robbery  took 
place  in  broad  daylight.  at  11 
a  m  and  was  accomplished  by  two 
unmasked  men.  Fortunately  for  the 
bank  only  $1,999  was  taken. 

Hold-up  men  appear  to  have  a  par- 
tiality for  tho  Royal  Bank,  as  this  Is 
the  fourth  Vancouver  branch  they 
have  robbed  within  the  space  of  two 
years. 

On  the  authority  "f  "le  of  the  lead- 
ing officials  in  the  bank,  what  hap- 
pened was  as  follows: 

Two    unmasked      men      entered     the 
bank   at   11   o'clock,   no   customers  be- 
ing present.  The  first  man  to  enter  at 
once  levelled^  a  revolver  at  the  head  Qt 
Manager    Sleeves.     Tho    mana«er    was 
verv  close  to  his  opponent,  and  there 
was  nothing  else  for  him  to  do.  so  he 
raised  his  hands.  Meanwhile  the  other 
robber  levelled  a  revolver  at  the  heads 
of  Ledgerkeeper  Harrtson  and     Teller 
Richmond,  calling  upon   them   to  hold 
up  their  hands.   Both  men   were  some 
distance  from     their     aasallant.     and 
Richmond.  Instead    of     complying     at 
once  with  the  coratnand.  backed  out  of 
his  cage  quickly  and   threw  hia  keys 
into  a  box  inside,   at   the   same   time 
pulling  the  door  to.  Aa  h«  stepped  out

LOS  ANQELBS,  .Tan.  26,— The  Illness 
of  Charles  Cahoon  of  Pomona,  a  Juror 
in  th.  trial  of  Bert  H.  Conners.  the  al- 
I'eged  dynamite  plotter,  caused  «  r^^^" 
in  the  case  from  noon  today  until  Mon- 
day morning. 


1.  Representatives  of  most 
West  Indian  colonies,  including  British 
Guiana,  will  bo  In  Ottawa  on  March  27 
next  to  talk  over  trade  relations  with 
the  Canadian  government.  A  return 
vLslt  of  Canadian  representatives  to  the 
West  Indies  may  be  made  before  the  hot 
V.  eather  comes. 

2.   Mr.    Foster  stated  that  he  had  ask- 
ed  for  a  conference  with   the  Australian 
government,  and  hinted  that  he  may  go 
to  Australia  as  commissioner  to  arrange 
a    trade    agreement    with    the    Common- 
wealth.  This  hint  followed  a  strong  sug- 
gestion  by    Mr.   Ames    that   the   govern- 
ment   should    open    direct      negotiations 
v.ith  Australia.     Mr.  Ames,  in  a  remark- 
i'.blo   and   abla  speech,    set  forth   the  re- 
lations   between   Canada    and    Australia, 
and    advocated    Canada    asking    the    fol- 
Uiv;in~    reductions      iii      i-h^-    Australian 
1    tariff: 

(a.)  On  articles  such  as  agricultural 
Implements,  ammunition,  boots  and. 
f-boes,  ,furniture,  metal  manufactures, 
textlles-nud  apparsls,  vehicles,  bicycles 
and  motors.  On  all  these  articles  we 
come  into  competition  with  the  United 
States,  and  were  we  given  the  advantage 
of  a  five  per  cent  tariff  preference  we 
could  greatly  Increase  our  trade. 

(b)    There    are    also    special    products 
which  wo  largely  export,  and  on  which 
Australia  collects  duty.     British  Colum- 
bi!>   sends  her  lumber,   on  which  a  duty 
of    26.    6d.    per   1,000    feet     is     collected. 
Were    we    given    the    advantage    of    one 
shilling  rebate   a   large   part  of  the   14.- 
500,00    worth  of  lunvber  which  goes    from 
American   Pacific   coast   ports  would   go 
from    Canadian    harbors.      Another   item 
on  which  we  would  like  special  consid- 
eration  is    fisli    In    tins,    principally    sal- 
mon.     Australia    imports    two  and   one- 
nuartcr    million    dollars'    worth    of    thia 
commodity    annually,      four-fifths    from 
the  United    States     and     one-flfth  from 
Canada.      A    remittance    of    one-quarter 
of  a  penny  would  transfer  much  of  the 
American  business  to  Canadian  canners. 
News   paper  is  admitted  Into  Australia 
free.     If   a  slight  duty   could  be  placed 
on    this    commodity      when     brought    in 
from  foreign  countries  it  would  give  us 
tl-.c    market.      In    return    Canada    could 
I  give    Australia    preferential      treatment 
I  on   butter,   applas,    leather,    chilled   laut- 
Icn,    meat   In   tins    an«1    tallow.      Canada 
alt.o   could    give   the  French    treaty  ad- 
vantages on  light  wines,  prunes,  raisins 
and   currants. 

Mr.   Foster   urged   that  there  was  a 
promise    in    the    attempt   to    establish 
closer   trade   relations    with   Australia. 
He  also  agreed  that  It  would  be  bet- 
ter  to   sit  down  and  frame  a  list  of 
really    serviceable    exchanges    between 
tho  two   countries,   leaving  In   it  what 
would  be  mutually  advantageous.     Ho 
went  on  to  say  that  a  few  weeks  ago 
D.  H.  Ross,  trade  commissioner  in  Au- 
stralia, reported  that  it  might  be  pos- 
sible   for    the    Australian    government 
to  put  upon  Its  statute  books  at  the 
session    Just   closing   a    prefereflBe    in 
favor  of  Canada.    Looking  at  the  mat- 
ter as  carefully  as  he  could  he  came 
to    the   conclusion    not    to   make   that 
effort,  and  it  was  for  that  reaaon  that 
he  thought  it  would  be  better.  Instead 
of  tying  ourselves  up  to  an  exchange 
of   preferences   to    try  to   come   to  an 
agreement  which  would  be  less  expen- 
aive  in  the  matter  of  items,  hut  mote

deal  of  its,  scoring  from  Its  forward  di- 
vision. JMeaars.  Naaon.  C^tawart.  Ogden 
ana  Ma'tl*  «re  too  speedy  though,  to 

lje'forgc;tTen~g67rinyt~TH  gaygrgr-ycgta 
has  the  Victoria  team  ha;d  so  much 
speedy  youth  in  the  back  division.  Na- 
scin  Is  speed  Itself;  the  same  applies  to 
Martin;"  Stewart  and  Ogden  are'fa.^t  in 
returning  punts  and  two  ibetter  defence 
men  are  not  available.  Martin's  weak 
i>oiul  is  punting,  but  he  makes  up  for  it 
in  many  other  ways.  Naaon  Is  an  atl- 
arouml   player  with   no  exceptions. 

Morton  and  .Vewconibe  have  provi'd 
that  they  were  the  two  to  work  behind 
the  scrum.  Morton's  ciiilrkness  is  all  in 
his  favor  in  handling  the  ball  from  the 
heel-out. 

Victoria's  forward  line  ha.s  gained  a 
wider  reputation  than  one  can  realize 
A~,  it  rearhc:,  t'ro!ii  Berkeley,  CftUfornla,

Gillespie.".  Kntialil  and  ^ilolio,  the  foi'm>^r 
acknowledged  the  best  ruah  forward  in 
the  gaiiie  on  the  Pacific  coast  and  the 
latter  almost  his  cfiyal.  The  rest  of  the 
men  are  hard  workers  and  handle  them- 
selves   like    cfiampionH    should. 

If  Victoria  loses  io.i.mn.  all  is  over.  If 
they  win,  well,  tlie  chaior>lon»hip  will 
be  held  in  abeyance  for  one  week  long-

at  a  mass  meeting  of  prospectors  they 
announced  tbat  after  examining  all  day

■I  vvi.^h  to  State,  at  the  outset,  th^at 

,  ,.„..,  ,,,,  ;^.eeunlary  Interest  in  this 
or'any  other  matter  conncctoa  with 
the  development  of  the  harbor  in  any 
form  or  shape,  and  that  I  aul^''^'^  these 
nuestlon.-,  as  matters  for  discussion 
in  the  general  public  interest  for  what 
they  may  be  worth. 

■it  Is  commonly  conceded  that  the 
centre  of  railway  activity  will  be 
somewhere  on  the  reserve,  and  that 
some  general  terminu.s  or  depot  wiU 
be  situated  towards  the  southern  and 
eastern  sides  ol"  the  reserve,  and  that 
limited  connection  with  the  wholesale 
section  of  the  city  will  be  over  a  quick 
opening    bascule    bridge.  ,  ,.   ,„ 

•It  may  i'C  conceded  ahso  that  it  is 
desirable,  in  the  general  commeroial 
•  i-  ..(^-'**>^f>  nt»»*^  aii'l  '"itv,  to  la- 
cl'lltate  communication  beiweon  the 
Wharves,  mills  and  railways  for  the 
more  rapid  distribution  of  the  goods 
landed  at  the  wharves,  or  manufac- 
tured at  the  m.iUs  alike  to  the  Island 
and  mainland.  This  wai,  an  essential 
part  of  mv  earlier  scheme  and  Is, 
therefore,   nothing   new   at   the  present 

time. 

"In    tlie    near    fiiture    a    breakwater 
will    be    built   at    ogden   Point,   at    the 
foot   of   Montreal    street,    more   or    less 
as    slwwn    on  -my    pl3n.    and   It    would 
be    desirable    to    place    those    docks    in 
direct    connection    with      the     railway 
-transportation   systems.       My    sugges- 
tion is  to  place  the  cars  alongside  the 
ships  and   take   them   by   electric   trac- 
tion   along    Montreal    street    to    l^aurel 
Point  and    cro^"  to    the   reserve   by    a 
ciulck-moving    bascule    bridge,    with    a 
...tear  opening  of  300  feet.     The  time  o 
opening  and  closing  this  bridge  would 
not     exceed    four    minutes;     the    total 
arrestatlon    of    tratflc   over    the   bridge. 
at   any    rate,    should     not    exceed     five 
minutes.     All    vessels   should   have   the 
prior  right  of  passage  without  any  let 
or  hindrance.     This   should   bo   a   gen- 
eral trafHo  bridge,  not  less   than  nlxty 
feet    wide    for   cars,    vehlch-s    and    pas- 
sengers. 

"\ccexs   to  the   wharves  along  King- 
ston   street    an.l     Krle     street     to     the 
Chemical  Works  would  bo  obtain.-d  by 
a  short  length  of  branch  railway  along 
those    serccts    and'  individual    wharves 
connected    up    with    sidings,    by    turn- 
tables    or    branche.-',    all    actuated    by 
electrlcitv.      These    suggested   develop- 
ments  are   shown   in   red    on    the   map 
and    the    existing    car    lines    In    heavy 
._,_^„;.  dotted  l!ne«      Ry  this  means  the 
whole  of  tlie  James  Bay  docks,  wharves 
and    mills    could    V,e    placed    in    direct 
connection  with  all   parts  of  the  Island 
and  mainland  served  by'  railways. 

"My  next  suggestion  Is  a  bascule 
bridge  at  the  foot  of  Cormorant  street, 
as  being  the  position  most  centrally 
situated  for  the  wholesale  houses,  and 
more  generally  accessalde  to  the  north, 
cast  and  central  parts  of  tlic  city.  This 
bridge  should  have  a  clear  opening  of 
150  to  200  feet,  at  least  60  feet  wide, 
and  providing  for  two  lines  of  cars, 
two  lines  of  vehicles  and  two  lines  for 
r&O't  oassengera. 

"A  new  direct  mute  uf  communica- 
tion should  be  opened  up  from  thq 
west  end  of  this  bridge  to  A'ictoria 
West,  sav  to  Dundas  street,  and  this 
llTiP  Bhonld  form  the  northern  boun- 
dary of  the  railway  depot,  and  poBsi- 
bly  of  Matson  Park  or  Heights;  also 
a  new  route  from  the  I..aurel  Point 
I  bridge  to  join  with  the  road  to  Vic- 
toria West;  and  this  should  form  the 
western  limit  of  the  ralUvHy  depot. 

"There  la  an  existing  lino  of  railway 
northwards   along   Store   street,  as   far 
as   PembruK*   street;    I   would   prop'^B«» 
continuing  this  across  the  new  bridge, 
past     the     Lemon.      Gonnason      mills, 
along    Rock   'Bay    avenue    to    Garbally 
road    and    to     the     Cameron     Lumber 
Company's  mills,  with  a  branch  along 
I>ftvld  Btreet  to  the  tvvo  mills  of  Moore 
&  Whlttlngton.   Leigh's   nillla  and   the 
Victoria   Shingle    mills.      .\    branch    to 
the    Canadian    Puget    Sound    Lumher 
company,    »»    nhown,    wouW    place    all

ways, but  also  the  mountain  dlstrlctB

Girl  by  the  boys  of  the  California  min- 
ing camp  Is  both  in  Its  inspiration  and 
construction  a  masterpiece  ot  composi- 
tion, worthy  of  Wagner,  the  Odin  of 
opera,  himsulf.  This  with  another  mag- 
nificently written  finale  on  the  intense- 
ly dramatic  card  scene  in  Act  II.,  the  ex- 
(iulsite  love  scene  between  L»lck  and

the  Polka  saloon  revcalid  I'uccinl  at 
his  best. 

Througliout  'The  Girl  uf  the  Golden 
Weste  the  orchestration  is  superb;  so 
much  so  thal\tlie  drama  and  the  players 
were  both  ma%e  to  suffer  last  night.  Tt 
was  an  orchestra  recital  with  an  opera 
obllgalo.  The  artistes  were  ilrowned  and 
resuscitated  only  that  Sl^nor  Giorgio 
I'olacco  and  his  astonishingly  fine  or- 
chestra might  drown  them  again.  Be-

rather  than  .spoil  the  opera,  the  inuslc  | 
with  but  few  exceptions  was  mediocre 
and  tUf  play  entirely  iiegliM-lbb.-.  It 
would  have  takc'U  Caruso  and  ScottI  to- 
gether to  have  held  their  own  against 
the  sirocco  of  sound  which  swept 
through  the  theatre.  Added  to  this,  poor 
►•loiutioii,  and  the  play  became  at  times 
utterly   incoherent. 

The,   American    languaKe    does    not,    in 
any    case,    lend   itself      to    opera,      auch 
lines    as    "I'm    gone'  on    you."    and    '•It's

ness." are  hard  to  marry  to  mu.sic  in  a 
ptay    but    newly    divorced    from    drama. 
Till"'   opera   retains,   however,   many  stir- 
ring  .sliuations,   and    no   treatment   of   a 
tlueadbuie  llieme  could  be  more  dramat- 
ic   than    the    scene    In      Minnie's      cabin, 
where    she   seeks    to    save    her    "greaser" 
lover   from    the   hands   of  a  sheriff   and 
the    supporters    or    the    law — ur    ruti.er 
seeiters   for   the   reward.     The   crown    in 
last    night's    performance    must    be      ac- 
corded   first    to    handsome    Mme.    Luiaa 
VlltHni    as    Minnie,    whose    glorious    so- 
prano was  as  pure  and  rich  at  the  end 
of    lior    exacting    role   as    U    was    at    the 
beginning,  and  who  acted  with  a  dramat- 
lc°force    allied    to    an      artistic    self-re- 
straint  that   stamijed   her  as  no   less   of 
an    emotional    actress    than    a       "diva." 
Honors  between  the  men  must  be  divid- 
ed between   Pilade  Slnagra  as  llamcrres

and    are    first    class    actors.      That      old 
favorite  in  Knglish  opera,  Lcwys  James, 
sang  and    acted   as    well   as   ever   in   the 
part  of  the  quarrelsome  but  big-hearted 
Sonora.    and    Chas.    E.    Gallagher    scored 
lieavlly  by  his  singing  as  Ashby.     Ver- 
non   Dalhart,   as    the    bartender,    and    Al- 
fred   de    Jonge,    as     Billy     the     Redskin,

did    stage     presence)     did    conspicuously 
well    in    small    part.«,    while    the    chorus 
was   exceptionally   strong  and  sang  with 
Vudgment  and     admirable     attack.     The 
yjlilrd    act    was    notable    for    a    beautiful 
forest  scene  at   sunrl.oe,   and   a  crowded 
house  gave   the   company  aiul    the  opera

be  disputed  that,  talcing  Into  account 
all  the  features  which  go  to  consti- 
tute a  good  harbor.  ESsqulmalt  is  In- 
linltely  superior  to  any  harbor  on  the 
Mainland,  and  this  is  borne  out  by  the 
evidence  contained  in  Sir  Sandford's 
report. 

Nothing  turns  upon  tlie  f^ol  that  the 
Kicking  HoTsc  Pa.ss  \v;vs  chosen  by 
IhG  C.  P.  R.  in  preference  to  the  Vel- 
low  Head  Pass.  This  was  an  error  as 
every  one  now  admits;  tho  only  ques- 
tion w-hlch  the  Colonist  has  been  dis-

the  selection  of  a  Icrnilnus.  'I'he

stand what  Mr.  R.  E.  Gosnell  Is  trying 
t)    establish    by    his    letters    In    regard 
t  )   the   route   of    the    Canadian   Paciiic. 
:?o    far   as    the   questions   at   issue    be- 
tween  himself  and   Mr.  Robert  Beaven 
are  concerned  we  have  nothing  to  say; 
but  when   he  deals  with   what   we   our- 
selves   have    said,    with    what    he   sug- 
gests   might    be   a    persistency    worthy 
of  a    better   cause,    wc    feel    obliged    to 
make  some  observations.     Mr.   Gosneii 
seems  anxious  to  establish  that  it  never 
was    the    intention    of    the    Macdonald 
government    to    build    the    railway     to 
Esquimau.      He   cannot   have    any    in- 
formation   on    this    point    other    than 
^•hat   is  available   to  all   the   world,   for 
he  will  not  pretend  that  he  was  in  the 
confidence    of    Sir    John    Macdonald    in 
1S73.   or  that  Sir  John   has  left  on  rec- 
ord     anything      which      warrant.?      the 
statement,   that  the  gazetted   notice  of 
;June    of   that    year    was    Intended    for 
political     purpose*    only.       Neither     Is 
there    the    sllghest    use    in    his    disre- 
garding   the    report    of    Sir    Sandford 
Fleming  made  in  1S76,  which   was   the 
basis   of    the    change    of    the    terminus 
from   Esquimau  to  Burrard  Inlet.    The 
report  Is  addressed  to  "the  Hon.  Alex- 
ander  Mackenzie,   Premier  and   Minis- 
ter of  Public  Works  of  Canada,"   and 
It  contains  the  following: 

"If  It  Is  considered  of  paramount  im- 
portance   to    carry    an    unbroken    line 
of  railway  to  one  or  more  of  the  har- 
bors   on    the    Western    Coast    of    Van- 
couver   Island,    and    there    is    a    likeli- 
hood  Chat  this  project   will,   regardless 
of  cost,  be  hereafter  seriously  consid- 
ered, then  Route  No.  6  becomes  of  the 
first    Importance    and    really    the    only 
one  to  be  considered.     If,  on  the  other 
hand,  the  object  be  to  reach  the  navig- 
able waters  of  the  Paclflc  leading  to  a 
good   terminal  harbor.   It   Is   clear  that 
of    the    three    routes    specified    No.    6 
must   yield    to    No.    2,    as    Waddlngton 
Harbor  la   open   to   all    the    objections 
which  <may   be  uriged  agaln.st   Burrard 
Inlet  with  regard  to  the  passage  from 
■  the   open  ocean."     Latej:   In    the  sa.mei, 
report    he     discusses    the    desirability 
of  a  ferry  from  Burrard  Inlet  to  Na- 
nalmo,  ctnnparlng  It  unfavorably  with  a 
ferry  on  the  Bute  Inlet  route.     It  may 
suit    Mr.    OosneU's    (ruTpoae    to    disre- 
gard   these    facts    In    the    Interest    of 
"-historical   accuracy";    but    we    must 
plead  guilty   of  a  readiness   to  accept 
ofnclal    reports    In    preference    to    hie 
opinions.  '

Mr.  Gosnell  seems  anxious  to  estab-

the  terminus  of  the  C.  P.  R-  irom  Es- 
quimau to  Burrard  Inlet  because  the 
latter  was  preferable  to  the  former.  At 
least  if  that  la  not  his  object  we  are 
unable  to  see  why  he  has  favored  us 
with  his  views  on  the  subject.  As  a 
matter  of  fact  the  change  was,  as  wo 
have  always  said,  made  by  Mr.  Mac- 
kenzie, who  sacrinced  what  we  would

nul   local      legislation      on      grounds    of

all  our  hearts  today,  when  We  iwe 
this  large  and  splendid  gathering,  not 
only  of  our  eampatrlots,  but  also  ot 
thfr-TMJresf-nta lives  of  the  countries 
we'  are  living  in,  who  arc  assembled 
tonight  to  celcl)rat.'  the  birthday  of 
H.  M.  Kaiser  Wiihchn  II. 

"Today  we  have  great  delight  in  re- 
membering our  Kaiser,  and  of  bring- 
ing him  before  our  minds,  not  only  as 
a  great  sovereign,  but  also  as  a  man 
of  (^xtniordinary  personality.  There 
ui'D  low  of  us  that  do  not  recognize 
his  woilderful  concentration  of  pur])ose 
in  everything  he  undertakes  and  in 
everything  that  furthers  tho  welfare 
of  his  country. 

••World  renowned  is  his  iron  will 
and  deterntlnation  and  in  his  public 
life  as  wcil  as  in  his  private  one.  It 
makes  the  Kaiser  an  example  of  an 
i,!..,.!  r.ithr.r  and  rii«;r  of  state  and 
home.  His  love  for  his  family  is  weli 
known,  likewise  the  fidelity  he  has  al- 
ways shown  towards  his  personal 
friends,  whether  in  prosperity  or  In 
ailversit.e. 

Kal»«r  Por  P«»«« 

••Gentlemen,   one   thing   th<it  l^as   not 
always   been   recognized   by   the    world 
IS  that  the'  German  ICmpcror  has  often 
been  represented  as  the  one  who  would 
like    in     see     Germany     measure     her 
strength   In   warfare   ^^'ith  otlier  coun- 
tries, but  do  you  realize  that  the  Ka^l- 
ser   has  given    to    his   country   over   — 
years    of    uninterrupted   peace,    ami    on 
many   occasions   he   has   sacriliced    his 
own   personal   pride    for  the   mainttm- 
ance  of  this  peace,   and   where   people 
or  nations  are  peaceably   inclined,   our 
Kaiser   is    the   peacemaker,   but    where 
it   has   been   the   question  of  Germany, 
.     ...         ,.-,,    ^...n      <.fii»tvn>r    In    com- 
merce,     industry,     art     or     science     he 
leads    his    nation    to    su<y;css,    and    bin 
Hmbltlon  as  father  and  ruler  is  to  see 
hi.s   people    first   and    foremost  and    in 
that  can  we  but  admire  him? 

"It    Is    hardly    necessary    to    remind 

you    of    the    near    relationship    '<(    the 

Kaiser  to  the  English  royal  famib-  and 

the  many    ties   that  ought  to   bind  the 

English    atul    German    nations    cloHcly 

together,  and   it  is  by   such  gHthorings 

as    these   that   those   ties   are   felt  and 

strengthened      and      cemented.         ^Ve 

should  not  forget  on  this  occasion   of 

c-elebrating    the    Kaiser's-  birthday    the 

good   fellowship  shown  to  us  Germans 

in     <iur    fostPr    country--.     Oanada      and 

vou      will      join      me     in      appreciating 

this  splendid  condition   of   things,  and 

although    ral[hfur'subjects_  ot--tJ^ 

loved  Kaiser,  we  anuUid  uu  v.t-.    --'- 

to  further  in  every  way  we  can  tho

draped  together,  and  hoped  the  countries 
would   ever  remain   fucnu.,.      i..e.-   -ia- 
been  much  misconception,  even  thought- 
ful   intelligent   men   speaking   of   danger 
because    the    German      Empire    was    In- 
creasing   so      rapidly       that    an      ouUet 
would  liave  to  be  found  for  surplus  pop- 
ulation, and   this  would  provoke  trouble. 
Never    was    there      a    greater      fallacy. 
What    Germany    wanted    to    export    was 
merchandise,    not    men.      This    was    why 
Germany  sought  colonies:  it  was  such  a 
purpose    tho    negotiations    over    Morocco 
took   place.     Any   other   belief,   any   Idea 
that    ulterior     motives      prevailed,     was 
„njustlflable.      Any    idea    that    Germany 
would   seek   territory   for  Burpius  popu- 
laUo  V  was  wrong.  -  In  the  Ume  of  tho«e

.Mr.  Behnsen  said  lie  li:nl  received  a 
gr^e."  rfftssurinc  measuge  by  wirele.ss— 
he  could  not  read  it  necause  ii  cnnU 
by  wireless.  It  was  from  His  Ma- 
jesty King  George  V.  and  His  Majesty 
the  Kaiser,  saying  that  peace  for  ever 
had  been  proclaimed  between  these  two 
nations. 

The    premier,    Hon.    Richard    McBrlde, 
replied.       He    was    receievd    with      great 
applause.      -Vtter    mentioning    that    this 
was     the    fourth     time     he    had     been    a 
guest    of    the    Deutsche    Vereln,    and    re- 
ferring   to    the    growth    of    the    club,    lie 
complimented        his        colleague.      Herr 
Belinsen.      The    premier    jocularly      said 
he    would    join    issue    with      the      consul 
that    Germany    did    not    look    to    export 
citizen*,     but     merchandise.       Much       as 
British    Coluntbia   liked    the   products   of 
tiie    |-atherland  the   German   people  were 
liked    better   and    their    presence    souglit 
and  welcomed.     Tho  individuality  of  tlie 
German    wtt.s    potential,    the    growth    of 
tlie  German   club  sliowed  this,   wherever 
it    was    his    good    fortune    10    nip't    net- 
tiers    who    claimed    Germany      as      llielr 
place    of    birth     lie    found    eontentmcnt 
and   great  hope.      It  had   been   said    that 
if  Britain  with   the   facility   of  coloniza- 
tion, and  Germany  with   the  facility  for 
municlixil    government    the    Ideal    would 
he    reached.      Here   In    British    Columbia 
where   such   a    great    field   for     develop- 
ment  offers    tliese    Ideals    would    be   use- 
ful.     Uevertlng  to    the  discussion   of   in- 
ternational  affairs   by   previous  speakers 
lie    spoke    of    the    desire   .that    tho       two 
great    nations— Britain    and    Germany- 
should   ever  dwell  In  peace.     In   Brlti.sn 
rolumhla  there  certainly  would  be  peace 
'and   it  might   fall   to   Canada  to   supply 
the    leavci    to    ntake,  for    the    peace    so 
much    desired.      In    ot.nclusion    he    spoke

Army  and  Wavy  Toa»t 
Mr  II  von  Graevenlt-/,  proposed  the 
Armv,  Navy  and  Militia,  referring  to 
^i:^  gi-e^t'army  worked  for  peace, 
the  education,  manhood  and  betterment 
of  men  who  had  an  army  training;  how 
it  made  them  good  men.  He  reforr*d 
to  the  time  when  British  and  German 
troops  had  fought  side  by  side,  and  this 
might   well    occur  again. 

<'ol     Wadmore,    D.O.r.,    replying    for 
the  army,  said  no  nation   In   the    world 
today  for  which  the  British  army  had 
so  much  respect  as  the  German  a,rmy. 
Mc    referred    to    the    descipllne   of    the 
Germans,   and   regretted    the   looseness 
of  the  youth  of  Canada  In  this  resfpect. 
The   British   army    was  small    in    com- 
parison   with    the    fighting    machine    of 
th*  German  navy;  Britain  had  to  place 
,to  defence  in  the  navy.     Premier  Mc- 
Brlde   for  whom  he  saw  an  unlimited 
future   (applause)    had  spoke  of  inter- 
national  unity,  and  ho  concurred  with 
him.      If    Britain,     wfth     the     gr.>atest 
navv  and    Germany   with    the   g.eatest 
army,   had  kept  together   the   peace  of 
th«  world  must  be   secured,   the   unity 
of   British  and   German   nations   would 
be    the    world's   greatest    assurance    of 
of   contlued   peace. 

Commander    Walter    Hose,    R-N-.    of 
H  M  CjS.  (RalnlX)w,   said   he  considered 
the    occasion    an    appropriate    one     to 
toast   the    navy    for   one   of   the   many 
works   the   German    Emperor   had    un- 
dertaken was  the  growth  of  the  splen- 
did   power,    the    German    navy.      The 
German,  the  n»«n  in  the  street,  under- 
■tands    well    what    sea -power    meano. 
The  Oefman    navy   league,    had    edu-

clal  committee  of   last   year's  council,   of 
a   caretaker    for    the    p.ibllc    convenience 
at  the  Causeway,   an  ai'polntment  which 
was    never    officially    communicated    to 
the  council   and   which   has  aroused  cmi- 
siderable   objection   m.   the   part   of  some 
of  the  aldermen,   has  been  cancelled,   for 
the  council,   at   its   session   last  eveninK, 
deternilnefl    to    call    for    ni'W    »pplle«  ttti»i«

oi.   the  lieallh  and  morals  cnmmitlee  that 
ai)plicatlons    be    asked    for    the    position 
of  Caretaker,    tho   appointee   to  have   tiio 
privilege  of  carrying  on  a  shoe-blacklng 
stand   m    each    compartment    except    On 
Sundays,  the  city  to  supply  the  liKhl  and 
heat,    the  station    to  be   kept   open    from 
7   a.   m.   until    12   midnight,   was  adopted. 
The    discus.slon    of    the    report    occ\ipied 
the    council    nearly    an    hour    and    occa- 
sioned  some     acrimonious  debate.     The 
proposal   was   made   that;  the   caretaker 
be    P«^rmltted       to    sell    newspapers    and 
jperato   a    cigar      stand,    but      Alderman 
Cuthbert  vigorously  objected,  clalmlnf;  a 
city  employe  should  not  be  permitted  to 
carry   on   a    business     In   oppoBltion    to 
other  parties  who  pay  a  license  fee  for 
their       business.       Alderman       Dllworth 
placed  himself  upon  record  as  belnp  op- 
posed   to   nllowinR  a   shoe-shining   estab- 
lishment    tM    bf.       I'lieratcd      on    Sunday, 
tvhllc    Alderinun    Humber      was    eijually 
emphatic    In    his      demand    that      there 
rfhould  be  no  such  limitations.     Tho  in- 
tention   Is    to    secure    the    services    of    a 
man  and  wife  for  the  position.

beadle.  stRtM  that  he  was  never  whipped 
80  much  in  his  life  a"  he  wm  one  morn- 
ing  for   not  smoking. 

What    a    change    has      come    over    the 
boys   since    that    time,    may   be   seen    by 
attending   the  Labor  convention  now  on. 
Mr.    Parker    WllUanie.    Socialist   member 
of   the   legislature   lor  Newcastle,  at  the 
opening    of    the   convention,    referred    to 
the    fact    of    there    being    lady    delegates 
present    and    api>*-al*d-     to    the    tobacco 
I  Bmoklng    male   delegates   present,    to   ap- 
'   pear  for  the   time  being  as   real  men  by 
refraining   from    smoking.     The   average 
smoker    in    this    case,      as    at    all    times, 
proved  to  be  too  selfish  to  forego  for  tbe 
lime,   what  may  be  to  him  a  pastime  or 
a  pleasure. 

Authorities    slate    that    those    who   use 
tobacco    before    the    age    of    twenly-dve 
are   handicapped   for  life.     What  are  our 
labor    leaders    doing    in    this    respect    to 
^Ive   our   children    the   best   environment 
to    fit    them    to    deliver      the    race    from 
Mluvery    in    lia      every    form?      No    non- 
Mmolicr,   whether  man   or  woman,   can  be 
111    full    iioBStJBMion    of    their    mental    fac- 
I   ullles    In      such    an      atmoaphere.      The 
I   iiopeful    sign    is,    that    the      Wuinen    aro 
I   looming   up   and   may   soon   do  for   those 
I   males   who   are   tobacco  fiends   what   the 
law     already     does    for     Indians     In     the 
lUiuor   problem. 

The    non-smoking    ■•boys"    and    ladies 
at  the  convention,  had  they  been  willing 
to  .submit,  did  not  even  have  the  oppor- 
tunity   to    escape    by    taking    a    flogging 
as   did    those   children   In  »what   we   wise

The    news    that    the    Young    Women's 
Christian  Association     has     secured  the 
fine  site  at  the  corner  of  Quadra  Street 
and   Caledonia  Avenue  and   will   at  once 
bfcgln    preparations    to    erect    a    suitable 
building    on    It,    thougn    not    unexpected, 
Is    very    welcome.      The    situation    Is    In 
every   way   sultablie.      It   Is  near  enough 
to    the    business    section    to    t>e    reached 
in    a    veiy    few    minutes.      It    is    a    Utile 
withdrawn,    at    least    at    present,    from 
the    noise    and    bustle    or  the    downtown 
section.     A  little  park   ^     almost  at 
the    door.      WelJ    paved    sl?%eta    lead     to 
the    high    ground    to    the    north    of    the 
city    where    views    than    Which    few    are 
more    beautiful    in    the    world    may      be 
seen    by    any    who    care    to    lake    a    half 
hour's    walk.      At    the    same    time    it    Is 
convenient   lo    the  car   line   and   the   lar- 
ger parks  and  places  of  amusement  can 
ho    reached    easily.      All    these   consider- 
ations make  the  spot  a  suitable  one  for 
u    home  for  business   women   and   stran- 
gers,   and   a    centre    for   amusement,    re- 
ceratlon   and    education,    as    well    as    for 
young   women  resident  In  the  city. 

The  present  site  Is  a  very  valuable 
one,  aad  the  price  received  lor  n  will, 
it  Is  hoped,  go  far  towards  the  erec- 
tion of  a  new  building.  It  will  not  b(

prove   sufficient. 

.\lderman  Stewart  was  emphatic  in 
stating  that  It  was  last  year'.s  council 
which  let  the  contract  to  Mr.  .Ste.lham 
and  if  there  was  anyone  to  blame  If 
the  work  did  not  prove  sufficient  It  was 
tr.wt  body  and  not  the  present  council.

Many   of   Ibcm   seem    to   Imagine  tiiat   if 
only  good  laws  are  placed  on  tbe  statute 
books  of  any   country,  nothing  more  re- 
quires   to   be  'done.    Two    years   ago    tbe 
Liberal  government  was  induced  by   llie 
women  of  Canada,  to  enact  a  law  forbid- 
ding  tbe   sale   of   cigarettes   to   cbildren. 
Tlmt  Sir  Wilfred   Laurier  did   not   think 
tbl.s    WH.S    the    be.«it    way    to    put    a    stop 
to    tbe    evil,    he    wua    iiOl    slow    to    say. 
Xow    wc    are     told     that     Ibe    ijcrnicious 
practice   of   smoking    among   clilldren    is 
on  the  Increane  nmong  the  boys  of   Vic- 
toria.     The    city    council    was    induced, 
some   years   ago,    to   enact   a   bylaw   for- 
bidding cbildren   under  a  certain  age  be 
to    be    on    tbe    street    at    night    without 
I   guartUan.s.    Tills    law    is    not    obeyed    and 
I  never    has    been.      These    are      only      iii- 
1   stances    of    laws    which    are    broken    be- 
I   cause   the   people   of   tbe  community   are 
j  not  determined  they  shall  bo  enforced. 
I       We  all   know    that   small   boys  are   in- 
i  Jured  by  tobacco  In   whatever  form  it  la 
taken.      Kepntable  dealers  do  not  sell   it 
to  cbildren   unleH.s  they  are  certain  they 
are  buying  it   for   their  elders.      But  tbe 
business    Is   a    profitable    one,    and    there 
are    unprincipled     men    who       will    lake 
mntiey   from  any  one.     If  the  good   peo- 
ple who   think   cigarette   smoking  really 
Injures    boys       were     to    make    11    their 
business  to  find  out  where  the  little  fel- 
lows  whom    they  .see   smoking   buy     the 
tobacco   they   coukl     often     do     so.       A 
few    punUhments    would    work    a    great 
change.         With    regard    to    the    curfow 
law.      How    many      woinen      have      the 
moral     cotirage    necessary     to     Interfere 
with    their   nflghbor's  children?     If  Mrs. 
Jones  chooses  to  let  bor  little  people  go 
alone  to   the  picture  show,  or  tbe  cheap 
theatre    at    night    will    Mrs.    Smith    in- 
form  on    them?      Will    It    make    matter? 
any    belter    for    a    policeman    to    nrresl 
them  and  to  send   Ibem  to  the  detention 
home    or    the    city    lock    up?      Yet      the 
streets  at  night  are  not  good   places  for 
little   ^oys   and    girls. 

There  is  a   better  way  and   some   peo- 
ple   are    pointing    It    out.      Scoutmasters 
don't  often   tell  their  boys  not  to  smoke 
but  they  give   them   something  better   to 
do   and    lo    think    about.      In    some   cities 
children  aro  tauglit   to  act  and   to  dance 
Pretty     plays    nnd       graceful       chlldbsh 
dances  awaken   their  love  Of  beauty  and 
afford    them    pleasurable      and    innocent 
amusement,      i- in.xt'^'^"""  •»""  t,^  ••—^~- 
urns    are    now    free    In    all    groat    cities. 
The    iltlle    people    who    spend    houre     In 
active  exercise  In   the  day  time  have  no 
desire   lo  leave  homo  at  night.   In   many 
of    the   Bcboolhouses   of    American   cities 
the  children  and  their  elders  are  fath- 
ered   together    at    night    and    entertain- 
ments   are    provided    for    them    by    their 
public    spirited   and    Uleh4*d   neigHbora. 
It    Is    by    Bubstltutlng   the    good    for   tbe 
bad.    by    creating    a    strong    and    whole- 
some public  eentlment  that  reform*  are 
most   nicely   to  be  effected.     Lawg   may 
help.      But   It    Is   worse   than  useless  to 
make  a  law  which  la  not  supported  by 
the   opinion  of     the   graat   majority   of 
the  people  of  any  community.

dated.  The  newspapers  tell  ub  that 
nianv  women  from  Great  Britain  are  on 
their  way  to  British  Columbia.  Most 
of  these  will  nee^i  temporary  homes, 
advice  and  sympathy,  at  least  till  they 
obtain  work. 

The   necessity    for   a   good   gymnasium 
and    outdoor      space    where      girls    who 
have   little    time   or   means   at   tbelr   dis- 
posal    nuiy    «Pcn(l       .short       periods       in 
healthful   sport,  has   been   felt  for   some 
time,   and   as   we   watch    tbe  erection   ot 
stores    and    offices,      to    say    nothing    of 
homes,    we   know    that   there    must   be  a 
large   increase   In   the  number   of   young 
women   employed    in    Victoria.     The   wo- 
men  who  have   money  at   their  disposal 
oannot    spend    it    for    a   better      purpose

tcr  home   for   young    women. 

It   is   the  aim  of   tbe  Young   Women's 
common  bond  of  service.     There  is  need 
of  this  here.     Wo  are  all  too  apt  to  hold 
ourselves   aloof   from  each    other.      It   is   | 
so   easy    to   condemn,   but   there  are   few 
who   are   either   able   or   willing   to  help. 
>  We   need   some   woinen  here    with   a   gen- 
I  Ilia  for  leadership.     In  the  meantime  we 
I  cannot   be   too    grateful   to    the   few   who 
have  been   ready   to   hold    out   a    helping 
hand   to   the  stranger.     Mrs.    Adams  and 
tbe    other    good    women    with    her    will, 
with   the  help  of  generous  men  and  self 
erect  a  new  Young  Wo- 
Associatlon      building. 
Tho    ettlclent    and    loving    workers    who 
have  already   managed   the   old   buiiamg 
and   carried   on   Its  outside   work  can  bo 
trusted    to  do   their' part.      But   there   is 
n<.»d  of  much  more  than  this  before  Vic- 
toria's   Y.W.C.A.    can   become    the   power 
for    good    that    such    institutions   are    In 
other  cities.     It  is  only  as  we  can  come 
close  10  the  lives  of  others  that  we  can 
really  help   them.     There  aro  many  Big 
Brothers,   but  hoar   little   of   Big   Sisters 
In  our  modern  cities.

prairie  provinces  a  bill  has  been  cnacl- 
c.:    that    has    gone   a    long   way    toward 
Kivlng   relief  In   this     direction     In   the

made   by  you   with   a   view      to     having 
isimiiar   Icgi.slHllon   cnncted   here,  but   "f

tinues  to  extend  its  present  .system,  and 
I   see   no  reason  for  thinking   that  they 
do  not   intend   to  do  so.   you     may  pre- 
sently have  a  federal  owned  system  in 
most  of  the  settled  rural  districts.

A    Ween      discuBulon      arose    over    the 
nuestlon   whether   the  poll   tux   and   rev- 
enue   tax    should    be    paid    by    the    people 
paying   taxes  on   real   estate.     Several   of 
the  delegates   thought   that   the  poU   tax 
should    be    abolished      altogether,    w.ule 
othcru    thought    that    it    should    be    paid 
by   aliens  and   others   who   did   not   >iave 
a    stake    In    the    country    and    came    here 
and    enJoye<l    the    protection    of    the    law 
without     contributing    an>  tbUiK     to     the 
treasury.       Finally     the    followinB    reso- 
lution   was    passed:      That    we    consider 
that    only   persons   paying    taxes   on    real 
estate    or    personal    property    should    be 
exempt    from    the    revenue    tax    and    poll 
tax. 

Without  any  discussion  It  was  unan- 
imously agreed  that  the  government  be 
asked  to  communicate  with  tDttuwa  wltlt.

Tlie  necessity  of  having  public  li- 
braries established  throughout  the  ag-

claimed  attention  and  aftf-r  some  dis- 
cussion a  resolution  was  passed  to  the

■    It   wa«  another  one   of   those  HiatfcTieS' 
iVhlch    there    was    only    one    team    to    it

whirlwind  tinlsh.   win.  play  raging  froin 
one    end    to    the    other    and    some    ratdd 
Hcorlng   in    which   both      teams     figured 
The  first  period   was  slow,  and  with  tho 
exception     of     Vancouver's    well  organ- 
i-/.ed    rushes    and    great    shooting    there 
was    little    to    enthuse    over,    but    in    the 
second    and    then    the    last    period      the 
..layers    uncovered    more    speed   and    the 
play    was   dazaUng,    bordering      on      the 
Unsatlonal    during    the    l««t    15    minutes 
uf    play.      Victoria    was    coming    strong 
at  the  finish,  but  with  the  game  alread.v 
lucked    away    the    locals    eased    up    and 
were  content   to  keep   the  Capitals  from 
^P.ttlns   within   shooting   dlstuiice  of   the 
Vancouver  net. 

The  plavers  pulled  off  some  lightning- 
Hke   stunts   in   the  period.     Play   became 
raster,  and    for  a  while   there  was  some 
rapid    scoring,    with    first   one    team   and 
then    tho   otiier   coming   right    back   with 
a   tally.       Altogether     ten     goals      were 
registered    in    the    lust    perioxl,    an    aver- 
age  Of  a  goal   every    two   minutes.    Once 
smith    scored    In    45    seconds,    and    La- 
londo  caiBe  back  with  one  ^^  y-^^^f""']'^;- 
.^eventeen      seconds      later      Smith      lad 
bulged   the  Vancouver   net   with   anothe 
.hul       But   nearly   all   the   goals   resulted 
inure    from    Individual    ertort    than    from 
combination  lilays. 

It   must  be    handed    to    the    Vancouver 
KC')lett»  for  combination   work.     The  lo- 
cals   pulled    off    more    scientific    hockey 
tonight  than  ha.«  been  witnessed  at  the 
..rena    this    season.      T;helr    combination 
wh:,   faultless.      With    as   many    as    four 
in  e   line  at  times,   they   came  sweeping 
down    the    ice    and    snapping    the    puck 
from    one    to    another    finished    the    rush 
with   a   shot   on    goal    that    was    usualb 
euccessful.      Not    that    Lindsay    was    off 
color.     He   stopped   any   that   he   hoU   an 
even   chance  for.  but  when   the   Vancou- 
vers  came  down  in  a  line  he  was     com- 
uletely  .bewildered    and    had    no    chance 
osave       It    was    a    pretty    display    of 
hockev   and   unles.i   the   locals   fall   away

"'    Por^StrnlVy   CnpT  Althougli   They 
Claim  Fower  to   Refuse  Same 


Because  one  section  of  Its  petition 
In  tho  Gazette  appeared  two  days  later 
than  is  reciulred  by  the  rules  of  ti-.e 
house,  the  city  of  Vancouver  must 
once  more  pay  dottble  fees  on  Its  char- 
ter amendments,  unless  the  private 
bills  committee  sees  fit  to  recommend 
•t  refund.  This  was  the  decision  of  the 
committee   at   its   meeting   yesterday. 

Mr  Hay,  Vancouver's  city  solicitor 
was  present  and  made  It  clear  that  on 
the  whole  the  provisions  had  been 
complied  with.  The  newspaper  adver- 
tising was  all  ready  in  trmc.  but  as  tho 
Gazette  only  came  out  weekly  one 
umendment  to  place  the  licensing  pow- 
er over  restaurants  in  the  hands  of 
the  city  council  instead  of  the  ilt^cnse 
board,    had   not   appeared    till    January 

4th. 

Mr    McKav,     chairman   of   the   com- 
miUee,    stated    that   the   rule     required 
that  all  advertising  must  be  done,  ana 
affidavits    tiled   with    the    clerk    of    the 
house,   eight   days  before  U  met.    this 
year  the   house  met  on   January   11  tn 
so   that   the   last   day   for     advertising 
would   have   been    January    2,    whereas 
this  notice  did  not  appear  till  the  4lh. 
Under  these  circumstances   the     com- 
mittee was  bound   to  recommend   that 
double   fees   be   charged.  ... 

Mr.  Tisdall  asked,  whether,  consid- 
ering the  very  slight  nature  of  the  In- 
fringement, the  committee  could  not 
recommend  the  house  afterwards  to 
make  a  refund  of  the  extra  fees  .      ^ 

The  chairman  replied  that  ui^^  <:Oii.- 
mittee  had  no  choice  but  to  charge  the 
double  fees— the  auestlon  of  refund 
they  might  afterwards  consider  among 
themselves. 

On   motion    of   Mr.    Miller  of     Grand 
Forks   It   was    decided    to      report      the 
bill    to    the   house   on    the   payment    ol 
double    fees.    In    other   words    Vancoi. 
ver  must  pay  $600  instead  of  $300. 


OTTAWA  DEFIANT 

TOWARDS  N.  H.  A. 


.Mr  D'Arcy  McGec,  one  of  the.  direc-- 
tors  of  the  National  Hockey  association, 
Is  authority  for  the  assertion  that  the 
British  Columbia  league  is  the  only 
hockev  l.^ague  placed  on  t1ie  outlaw  list 
by  the  N.  H.  A.  This  crimps  Sam 
Wchlenheln-'s  'ir.,rea-  -  -itlaw  Krod 
Taylor  If  he  goe.^  :  ■  -'  Muritlmo 
Province    league. 

By  what  riglit  or   might   tiie   -N.    i'.   -^• 
can    outlaw   any    organization   is   a   mys- 
tery. The  B.  C.  league       offered     bi.:?gcr 
money     for    players     than     the     ea.sicrn 
teams  cared  to  pay,  and  got  some  of  the 
best  as  a  result.     Though   the  N.  H.   A. 
treats    tho    B.    C.    league    as    an    outlaw 
or.!;anization,  there  Is  no  doubt  that   the 
prospective  ciiaiiu<»ono  o-      . — 
body  are  banking  on  a  Stanley  cup  ser- 
ies   with    the    coast    holders.      President 
McGee   of    the   Ottawas    says    not,    how- 
ever.    On  this  point  Trustee  Wm.  Foran 
gives   out    the   following'. 

"The    -N'.    H   .A.    can    outlaw    who    ever 
they  please.     If  a  proper  challenge  com- 
es   from    tho    British    Columbia    league,

OTT.VWA,   Jan.   26.— On   top  of  all   the 
fu^s    about    Taylor,    whom    the    Ottawas 
refused   to  relinquish   to   the  Stanley  cup 
ehallengeri:,    the    former    caused    further 
sensation  tonight  by  announcing   thai    in 
tomorrow'-    mat.-h   against   the    Wander- 
ers   they    would    use    seven    men.      L.    H. 
Bale  came    lo   the   rescue  of  the  Ottawa 
elub  and   announced      that     they     would 
c(,.mo  here  tomorrow  and   then   leave  the 
matter    for    the    N.    H.    A.    authorities    to 
deicd^.       But    the    Ottawas    expoeted    all 
along  that  the  ex-champloiili  wJfiid  turn 

IIP- 

"Tlie  N  II  -^-  ^'-•■iitB  '••'  •'.«■•'-  --" 
prehended  loo  iHie  that  Ottawa  holds 
the  Key  and  combination  to  the  situa- 
tion,'' safd  Mr.  Bate.  "Tell  Mr.  blcht- 
hein  that  Fred  Taylor  has  8lgne<l  to  fin- 
ish out  the  season  with  Ottawa  for  a 
thr.u.'.Rnd  dollars.  The  Wanderers  had 
bptter  bring  a  team  of  seven  up  to  to- 
morrow's game.  The  six  man  team  Is 
farcical,  and  we  will  use  seven  agaln.n 
the  Wanderers  whether  they  like  It  or

"Victoria    wan    never       bett«^r    in    hor

Roberts  thought  employers  were 
ready  getting  tired  of  noting  and  that 
the  enforcing  of  the  present  act  they 
V, oiild  satisfy  their  purpose.  The  next 
uii;.u(lmGiit  was  to  bring  all  buildings 
on  which  worltmen  were  employed  un- 
der the  meaning  of  the  act.  That  all 
clauses  apply  equally  to  women.  That 
all  employments  not  covered  at  pres- 
ent be  included.  That  a  minimum  of 
$3,000  be  irald  In  caaes  of  total  dis- 
ablement or  death.  That  a  weekly 
amount  of  not  less  than  75  per  cent, 
of  the  weekly  wage  and  a  minlmuni 
of  $10  be  paid.  That  "foreign  depen- 
dants" may  appoint  someone  to  re- 
ceive compiMiaution. 

■Wife    of    "Porelgnar" 

wife  in  Alberta  is  at  pre.sent  deemed 
a  foreigner  dependant.  That  on  de- 
mand of  the  Injured  man  the  arbi- 
trator, after  a  sot  time,  may  setclt^ 
the  amount  at  which  the  claim  may 
be  commuted.  That  the  delegate  to 
ttie  State  Federation  be  instructed  to 
look  into  the  act  of  that  state  said  to 
be  a  very  perfect  one.  That  workmen 
.sliall  be  examined  at  the  place  of  their 
residence. 

Amendments      to      tlie      constitution 
were    then    brought     forward     by     the 
committee    appointed    for   that   purpos" 
and      among      their      recommendations 
which    were  adopted    were   the  follow- 
ing:    That  the  capitation  fee  be  raised 
to  twa  cents  per  head  per  month.  That 
any   alterations   made    by    the    conven- 
tion excluding  flnttncial  iitiPstIon.s  take 
viT'  i:t   from    date   of   iiassing    until    the 
HfNt   oHlccrs   are  installed;    the  capita- 
tion fee,  of  course,  will   be  referred  to 
a    referendum    vote.      On    tlie    llrat    oC 
these,  the  scrotary  gave  cogent  reasons  j 
for    the    Increase    of   the    funds  of    the  i 
federation;    cheap  unionism  was  likely  j 
to  get  cheap   results;    if  they   were  to   , 
take   up    the    flKhting    of     compt  nsatlon 
cases  such  an   Increase   was  absolute-    ' 
ly    necessary.  j 

Voles  of  thanks  were  passed  to  the 
Victoria  Trades  Council,  to  the  prem- 
ier, and  the  two  labor  momhcrs  of 
parliament,  and  the  chairman  In  sum- 
ming ui)  the  convention's  work  im- 
pressed it  on  them  that  each  member 
must,  wlien  he  went  buck,  lay  himself 
out  to  explain  their  proceedings  an<l 
the  reason  for  them  to  their  local 
bodies;  in  this  way  the  good  tiie  con- 
vention had  done  them  would  be  dis- 
seminated among  the  whole  member- 
ship, and  they  would  realize  better 
the  posslbiliiles  and  potentialities  of 
the  work  of  this  ijody  In  the  future. 
.And  on  the  question  of  finance,  here 
they  hiid  89  reeoUitions  from  their  84 
meniber.s.  Pas-sing  pious  resolutions 
was  no  good.  Their  officers  were  giv- 
ing freely  of  their  time,  but  with  the 
elections  imminent  it  was  their  duty 
to  enable  them  to  make  felt  their  In- 
lluenco.  to  show  they  meant  to  have 
things  and  could  take  them  was  the 
surest,  the  only  way  of  getting  them. 
Ajcain  he  urged  missionary  work  on 
the  [)art  i.f  lh«  delegates  on  their  re- 
turn to  their  respective  looallties.

CENTRE 

(\'aneouver  .Vews-Adv.,  Jan.  18.) 
The  great  poBSi'hllities  of  some  of 
the  polnt.s  in  the  central  Interior  of 
tlii.-i  province  as  manufacturing  cen- 
tres are  (becoming  better  known 
every  <3ay  frpm  the  reports  brought 
down  by  tho«e  wlio  arc  engaged  In 
InveellKatlng:  the  resources  of  the 
.Vorth.  Not  least  important  among 
tlu!  factors  that  will  make  up  the 
ir.dubtiial  growth  of  Bome  of  these 
new  centres  are  the  water  powers 
which  are  .  found  In  close  proximity 
to    raw    materials. 

A  report  has  Just  been  filed  at 
Victoria  on  water  power  of  the 
Willow  river,  atK>ut  seventeen  miles 
east  of  Kort  George.  The  Willow 
river  is  a  tributary  of  the  Fraser 
entering  the  latter  river  about 
twenty-five  miles  aAx)ye  the  Junction 
•of  the  Nochaxo  with  the  Fraser.  The 
Willow  Canyon  is  located  about 
thirty  miles  above  the  mouth  of  the 
river  and  Is  approximately  due 
east  from  Fort  George,  a  distance  of 
some  seventeen  miles. 

The  canyon  is  formed  from  a  ihuge 
mass  of  soil  and  Igneous  rock  that 
is  about  12,000  feet  or  a  little  more 
•than  tsfo  miles  lin  length,  with -walls 
as  high  as  250  feet  on  either  side. 
There  are  really  two  distinct  canyons 
although  both  are  really  a  part  of 
'the  same  large  one.  Xn  the  bottom 
of  each  of  the  two  at  low  water  the 
river    varies    from    ten    to    sixty    feet    in 


width,  averaging  about  forty  feet,  and  in 
some  places  as  deep  as  twenty  feet.  The 
vertical  fall  from  water  level  at  the 
head  to  water  level  at  the  foot  Is  ap- 
proximately 200  feet.  At  tills  canyon 
it  is  proposed  by  the  Fort  George  Pow- 
er company.  Ijimited — a  company  which 
has  undertaken  the  work  of  development 
— to  develop  cheap  power  for  manufac- 
turing and  other  purpose.s.  Several  tests 
have  been  made;  one  at  extreme  low 
water  In  August  last,  sljowlns  a  flow 
of  2.'>0  second  feet.  In  the  development 
scheme  a  dam  Is  planned  to  create  a 
service  reser\-fllr  Which  will  be  tihe 
means  of  maintaining  a  con-stant  head 
of  water  on  a  turbine  to  bo  Installed 
In  a  power  house  situated  on  the  lower 
face   "f   the   dam.      In   addition   to  this  a 

the  upper  canyon,  will  creatci  a  local 
storage  reservoir  covering  approximate- 
ly two  sufiaro  miles  to  an  average  depth 
of   about   thirty   feet. 

.According  to  the  report,  40,000  or 
50,000  h.  p.  might  be  obtained  with  suf- 
ficient  ."itorage. 

The  Willow  river  power  is  the  only 
feasible,  available  power  within  reach 
of  Fort  Georg*  and  vicinity,  and  as  such 
is  tremendously  important  tp  the 
ernwth  of  that  future  metropolis.  With 
abtmdant  power  adjacent  to  the  city 
that  must  be  the  centre  -both  commerc- 
ially and  industrially  of  the  central 
Interior,  a  great  deal  has  been  added  to 
the  prospects  of  Fort  George  as  a  manu- 
facturing  centre.

THE  BAllRif 


'  FORT  GEORGE  is  the  geo- 
graphical and  strategic  commer- 
cial centre  of  central  British 
Columbia,  Canada's  largest  and 
richest  province. 

All  railroads  building  through 
the  Peace  River  jr  Central  Brit- 
ish   Columbia    must   go   through 

FORT  GEORGE  in  order  to 
maintain  water  grade.    Therefore 

FORT  GEORGE  must  be  a  great 
railroad  centre. 

FORT  GEORGE     is     at    the 

junction  of  the  Fraser  and  Nech- 
aco  Rivers,  with  i,ioo  miles  of 
navigable  waterways. 

FORT  GEORGE  is  the  supply 
point  for  an  immense  territory 
rich  in  agricultural,  timber  and 
mineral  resources,  and  will,  be 
able  to  compete  with  Edmonton 
and  eastern  cities  for  the  trade  of 
the  Peace  River  country,  as  well 
as  the  whole  of  Central  and  Nor- 
thern British  Columbia. 

With  the  opening  of  the  Pan- 
ama Canal  freight  rates  to  PORT 
GEORGE  will  be  lower  tKiin  to 
Edmonton,  thus  making,  IffOltT 
GEORGE  a  great  wMff  1^9-Mrilt 
jobbing  centre.

that  It  was  the  purpose  of  his  company

U    was    found    that  .  some     waterfront

the     agreement     provided     for.        The 
agreement    also    points    out    that    the 
company    must   build   a  hotel   at   once, 
and  no  doubt  they   will  build  one  that

the    road,    the     company     mu»t     spend

this    is    bound    to    bring    to    the   city    of

The  townslte  covered  a  most  exten-

hurd  pioneering  work  yet  to  he  done, 
population  was  certain  to  increase  with 
raplditv.  and  preparation  for  that  popu- 
Intion  would  be  costly.  This  the  gov-

ever It  had  felt  justined  in  meeting  re- 
quests for  speciftl  assistance  this  had 
not  been  spared.  Proceeding  to  ex-

to  the  agreement  which  the  bill  1«  to

the    Orand    Trunk   Pacific    company    was 
placed      before      this      legislature      some 
years    ago     there    was    a    provision     ex-

by   tlie  rnuniclpellty  was  not  eonshlerffd.

Ixplalns  Agreement 

Mr.       Manson      (Skeenu)      said       the 
agreement  was  brougrht  to  an  issue  be- 
cause  of   the    dispute   that   had   arisen 
in  the  city   of  Prince  Rupert  over  the 
taxation    of    the    railway    lands.      The 
ciry    '>ri>-t'   incorportition,  nmde  an   a-^- 
sess'monl    that    was    not    unreasonable 
but  in   view  of  tho  fact  that  some  con- 
cession   to    tho    railway    company    with 
its  large  holdings,  was  only  fai>".  negn- 
tlations    went    on    for    some    time    be- 
tween  the  city  and   the   railway   com- 
pany   and    it    almost    appeared    at   one 
,i.-,ie    af    if    they    would    be    unable    to 
reach  a  satisfactory  conclusion,  though 
linallv   with   the  assistance  of   the  gov- 
ernment they  arrived  at  the  ngreemenl 
before      the      house.        In    addition      t" 
ground     needed     for     cemetery,     r;u-k 
sites     reservoir    and    municipal    build- 
ings,   the    city    needed    waterfront    as 
their    method   of   disposing   of    garbage 
was    to    send    it    out   to    sea  on    scow?^ 
For  this  purpose  they  needed  a  wharf 
of   their   own   :ind   some   waterfront    to 
build   it   on.      This    the   agreement  pro- 
vided   for.      On     account    of     its    one- 
'v-surth    interest    It    w-.ns    necessary    for 
iho    government    to    be    joined    in    tho 
agreement. 

The   cUv    had    been   progressing  rap- 
Idly    and    for    this    reason    It    had    been 
necess.'iry   to    incur   heavy    expenditure 
to  put  it  on  a  satisfactory  tooting.    On 
streets,  sewers,  waterworks  and  a  pub- 
lic lighting  and   telephone  system   thov 
have  assumer  obligations  in  the  neigh- 
borhood   of    $1,370,000.      So    far    as    the 
city  was  concerned  It  had  had  no  dl'- 
nculty  in  securlnp:  financial  assistance 
The   Rank    of   Montreal   had   dealt  very 
llherany   with    the   city,   and   its  action 
had    given    Prince    Rupert    a    splendid 
standing  In  the  money  markets  of  the 
world      The  assessed  values  of  the  city 
today    amounted    to    about    » 14,000.000, 
and   now  its   difficulties   with   the  G.   T. 
P.  were  being  adjusted,  the  city's  cred- 
it would  stand  high  indeed.     There  was 
a   rumor  at   one    time   that  unless   this 
agreement    was    carried     through,     the 
G.    T.    P.    would    remove    its   terminals 
from   the  townslte,  but  those  who  un- 
derstood, the  conditions  knew  that  thl? 
was  lmposBii)le.     At  the  ."ame  time  thl.s 
agreement  providing  for  the  immediatu 
esUbllshment  of  a  hotel  and  the  build- 
ing of  a  drydock  was  a  matter  of  such 
importance  to  the  city.  that,  considered 
with    the   other    things   mentioned,    tho 
rnatter   of  a    few    thousands    In   imme- 
diate taxation  was  one  which  the  peo- 
ple of  Prince  Rupert  would  not  bother 
about. 

The   agreement  had   been   submitted 
ti    the    people    and    was    carried    by    a 
vote    of    440    to    44,    showing    that    the 
people  were  practically  unanimously  for 
It      It  had  been  a  matter  of  great  sat- 
isfaction    to     have     had    all     the     way 
through    those   negotiations    the    assis- 
tance   of    the    premier.      Through    his 
assistance   both   i.artles  had   been  able 
to  come  together  ana  the  negotiations 
•M-'v'    ^f>-tT\cA    on    In    R^    amicable    and 
satisfactory   spirit.     He  also  wished  tb

lands  to  tne  UH..Y.  W  .,..c-..t.a  ...j..  -.  . 
were  prepared  to  do.-.l  generously  with 
Prince  Rupert.  The  actual  assessment 
on  government  lands  within  the  city 
was  $1,450,000.  Thl.^  with  the  large 
tracts  they  possessed  outside  the  city 
.showed  that  the  government  had  a 
splcnulil  asset-  In  and  around  the  city 
of  Frlnc  Rupert,  and  It  showed  also

Mr.  P.  WllUams  could  well  under- 
stand that  a  large  city  must  arise  at 
Prince  Rupert,  because  the  (conforma- 
tion of  the  country  along  the.  Paclflc 
coast  did  not  lend  Itself  to  the  founda- 
tion of  many  cities.  Owing  to  the  man- 
ner In  which  the  valleys  were  cut 
through  the  mountains,  the  number  of 
townsltes  on  the  coast  must  be  limit- 
ed. The  premier's  references  to  the 
development    of    the   AatterlM   and      the 


Mttle    from    the    tiill.      He    had    Intinia.v- 
that   certain    IntercHts   coming    In    to   ex- 
ploit  the   flsherles   h««l    given    the   assur- 
ance   that    wliite    labor    or.ly     would     I'C 
employed.      To   his   mind   corporation   as- 
surances     in        tills        connection      were 
worthless   and    unless    the  premier     was 
l<repared    to   enact    legislation    to   compel 
them     to    employ     while     labor,     the    as- 
surance  would   prove  a   uiosi  rllmisy  one. 
in    connection    with    Prince   Rupert   it- 
self,   it    w«»    rall'sr    surprising    to   see   a

Hera    was    a    city    that    had    started    on 
government    land     wUhoul    «ny     of    the 
complications    that    must    be    faced      by 
cities   that  grow   up  of   themselves  as  it 
were.    Notwithstanding    this,    after    f.his 
city  had   only  been  in   existence  for   two 
or    three    year.-),    it    was    fouiul    coming 
back    to    the    house    to    seek    relief  as    it 
were.     Tho  bill  indeed  sliould  have  been 
styled    '.V     bill    to    relieve    the    City    of 
prince    Hupert.'     A    few    years   ago      the 
government      made      an      agreement      by 
whlcti    the    Grand    Trunk   Pacific    was    to 
erect    certain    buildings    at    Prince    Ru- 
pert, and   now    here   was   another   bill   to 
tile  same  effect,   showing  tliat  there  was 
no    effectiveness    In    Hie    lirst    bargain. 

Again    It   seemed      to      hlni      tliat      tln> 
(irand    Trunk    Pacific    was    getlins      "" 
.iltogether    too    cheaply    In    the    way      !'■ 
taxation.       The     premier    had     said    that 
the    government's      holdings      In      Prince 
Rupert   were   worth    »i:!,000,000.        They 
owned    a    quarter    of    the    townslte    and 
the    a     T.    P.    tho    other    three-ciuarters. 
»o  since  the  G.  T.  P.  owned  three  times 
as  much  as  the  government/their  prop- 
erty    should    he    worth    J3MO0.OO0.      It 
showed    the    helpless   position   tha     olty

It   was  claimed   that  the  Mil  had  been

X.abor  and  Immigration 

c,ir_l    have    been    interested,    if      not 
profited    by    the    reports    of    the    discus- 
sion  of    the    Labor   Convention    now   be-, 
ing    held,     regarding     immigration.     But 
i,    occurs   to   one   who   knows   something 
of  the   labor   man's  view   of  the  matter. 
that    it    would    be    well    if    our    friends 
now   in   convention   would   Inform   them- 
selves   on    both    Bides    of    this  question: 
touching   the   subject  of   immigration,   it 
would  be  interesting  to  know  how  many 
of    the    delegates    are   Canadian    born.    I 
fancy    a    goodly    percentage      emigrated 
here    at    some    period    In    their    history, 
ttrtd   one   would    really    think    think   that 
„11    who    believe    in    the    brotherhood    of 
man    would    want    the    other    fellow    to 
have    the    privilege    of    coming    to    this 
favored    country    also.      While    on      the 
subject  of  emigration  let  me  say  that  of 
all    the    men    who    have    applied    to    me 
for   beds   of  meals   this   winter,   not   one 
was  one   of   the   8.    A.    emigrants,   while 
the    roajorlty    of    them    were    addicted 
to    drink,    and    leaned    strongly    towards 
socialism. 

The  fact  that  servant  girls  pay  their 
passage  money  back  at  the  rate  of  a

who  are  willing  to  work,  to  have  a

pront  Is  not  as  great  as  might  be 
thought  and  as  far  as  Individual  profit 
It  concerned,  no  would-ba  grafters  need

moute  of  the  C.  V.  S. 

Sir, With    reference    to    tlie   letter    of 

E     Harrison   in     Wednesday      morning's 
Colonist,  I  may  say   that  the  documents 
in  connection  with   the  visit  of  Mr.  Kd- 
gar   10   this  province   in   1874   were   pub- 
lislied  in  the  sessional  papers  of  British 
Columbia    and    of    Canada    belonging    to 
that   period.      Those   specially    interested 
ij,    ijie   respective   points   of    the   dispute 
'should    consult  them    and    come    to    their 
own    conclusions.       The    Quef;tions    pro- 
pounled    to  me  by  Mr.  Harri.son.  illustrate 
better    than    any    explanations    I    could 
make   the   way   the  local   administration 
Juggled    with     words    in     confusing     the 
minds    of    the    public    in    respect    to    tiio 
merits    of    the    entire    Question    at    issue 
between  the  provln^^  an<1  the  l>omlnion 
at  that  ttme. 

As  to  Mr.  Bcaven's  letter  of  yesterday 
morning    it    wisely    steers    clear    of    the 
gravamen   of -my    charge,    which   relates 
particularly    to     the    treatment     of    Mr. 
Edgar    as    an    accredited    agent    of    the 
Mackenzie  government.     All  I  did  allege 
in  that  connection,   so  far  as  the  Edgar 
incident    had   to   do   with    the   matter    of 
Esquimau    as    a    terminus    of    the    Bute 
Inlet    route    waa.    In    effect,    that    what- 
ever chances  remained  to  the.  Island  af- 
ter the   defeat   of   Sir   John   Maodonald  s 
government,    had    been    seriously    preju- 
diced, and  the  whole  question  very  much 
complicated,    as   a   consequence.      But   in 
order   that   one   may   understand  the  en- 
tire   situation    it    is    necessary    to    know 
the    politics    of    that   period,    to    view    it, 
so  to  speak,  in   the  perspective.     So  far 
as  my  not  having  a  personal  knowledge 
of   th"  events  and  circumstances,   prior, 
belonsing,    and    immediately    eub^^ju^iit 
lo    the    incident,    being  a    bar    to    under- 
standing the  .medits  of  the  now  historic 
dispute.  I  must  submit  thai  that  fact  in 
Itself  is  not  a  disadvantage.     Otherwise, 
I  am  afraid  all  history  as  written  would 
have   to   be   revised    In   accordance  with 
the    views    of    the   men    who    were    main 
factors  in  its  making,  not  always  I  also 
submit  the  most  competent  to  give  dis- 
interested   opinions.      I    have  read   every 
"reliable   document,"    and   some   w^hlch   I 
am   afraid   were   not   reliable   documents, 
framed    by    the    Walkem    administration 
in  defence  of  Us  course,  and  1   have  en- 
deavored    to    read    everything    unofficial 
bearing  upon  the  question  and   to  ascer- 
tain   personally    from    those    who    were 
prominent    at    the    lime,    and.    speaking 
from   my   own   humble   and   disinterested 
point   of   view,    there    is   but    one    set   of 
conclusions    to    be    drawn.      I    have  ^aid 
nothing  adversely   of  the   late   Mr.    \Val- 
kem's    capacity    or    of    his    conspicuous 
ability    as    a   lawyer.      It   Is    only    to    bo 
regretted  that  they  they  were  not  turned 
to    better    account    in    dealing    with    the 
railway  situation  at  a  very  critical  per- 
iod.    It  must   be  obvious  to  any   person, 
even     unfamiliar     with     the    documents, 
that   to   haggle   with   an   accredited  dele- 
gate   of    the    first    minister    of    Canada 
whose  solemn  purpose  was  to  settle  dif- 
ferences  with    the  province   in   a   matter 
upon   which    hung  the  very   deallnle»   of 
Brltlsli    Columbia,    on    the    form    of   cre- 
dentials,   when    the    telegraph    line    was 
open   to    Ottawa,    as    Indicative    of    hiRh 
purpose.      Mr.    Mackenzie   was   a  serious, 
earnest-minded  and  honest  man  and  dis- 
gusted with  the  trifling  tactics  employed 
recalled    his    agent    abruptly    and   ended 
negotiations.     All  the  subsequent  mourn- 
ful   chapter    of    troubles    over      railway 
matters   was   the    outcome   of    that   very 
incident.     There   never  was   a  better   in- 
stance,   and    there    have    been    many,    of 
how  parochial  politics  may  prove  a  curse 
to  the  country  and  to  the  politicians  who 
employ    them. 

Now,  sir,  as  you  have— with  a  persist- 
ency  I    was   going   to   say    worthy   of  a 
better  cause,  but  that  would  be  scarcely 
possible—returned    this      morning      to  « 
repetition    of   your    statements     against 
which    In    the    Interests    of    "Historical 
Accuracy"   my   original  letter  was   writ- 
ten and   have  emphasized    them.   I   must 
protest  again  for  a  similar  reason.     Es- 
quimau   was    not   originally    selected   as 
a  terminus  because  the  route  which  led 
I    to  it  was  the  best,  but  mainly  for  reas

The  first  meeting  of  the  W.  C.  T.  U. 
since  the  New  Year  waa  held  on  Thurs- 
day afternoon  at  the  residence  of  Mrs. 
Teague,  Yate*  street,     the     chair     being 

taken  by  the  president,  Mrs.  Wllllscrofl. 
The  chief  feature  of   the  afternoon   was 
an    address    on     the    evils    of     cigarette 
smokins-,    which    was    given    by    Uev.    A. 
Henderson.       Pointing    out     the     respon- 
«ibllltv    of     thfa     mutli<--r     In    Influencing 
the   life  of    the   child,    the   speaker    said 
that  the  saving  of  the  men  was  as  noth- 
ing   to     the    saving    of    the    child.    Tlie 
children    started    off    in   life    .lust    about 
edual  and  If  the  proper  influences  were 
brought    to    bear    the    best    that    was    in 
the  nature  of  the  child   would  be  devel- 
oped,  rather   than   the  other   side.      Par- 
ents   often     I'aiieti     lo    appreciate     what 
their  children   brought   to   them,  and  the 
development  which  followed  to  their  own 
natures    through     the    avenues    of    sug- 
gestion  and   thought.      Parenthood,   said

The  Dominion  Match  Co.,  Ltd.,  are  the  owners  of  the  Parker^  coniinuous  process  fur  making  matches.  By  a  continuous  process  is 
.neant  a  ih  "haiHcal  device  which"  receives  the  wood  ai  .ne  eutl  and  turns  out  a  perfect  finished  match  at  the  other.  By  this  process  we  can 
use  Uif  clicapi'St  kind  of  \v..,,(l,  sucli  as  aider,  spruce,  lir.  culluiuvood,  etc.  ^^^ 

,,  „  ill  l,e  iu.i  a~  i,n|.o.sibIe  for  .he  present  n,an„fac.urcrs  „f  matcheWfon.pete  with  us  as  it  is  for  the  cobbler  to  compete  with  the 
„,acl'i,K  n.adc  sh.es.  The  follnwin^  will  ,ive  y,ou  U,e  cost  of  n,aki„K  matches  b.v  Parker's  Con.im,ous  Process  (wh.ch  ,s  ours)  and  the  Die 
Process  imw  used  b\-  match  makers  of  today. 

\\^  will  take  lot^  example  the  e.^t  t.f  making  the  perfect  finished  match  by  the  case.  A  case  of  matches  holds  ,44  boxes  conlammg  500 
matches  each,  which  sell  at  wholesale,  for  $4.50  per  case. 

■oWr3CRTr?nr??rbf  matches  in  a  carload.    This  means  a 

profit  of  $1.41^  pe/car.  Figuring  300  working  days  each  year, 
there  will  be  a  profit  of  $424,500  annually.  (Understand  this  is  only 
on  one  carload  per  day)  or  42  per  cent  on  the  entire  capital  stock.. 
These  figures  are  not  guess  work. 

Note  that  the  saving  by  our  process  in  the  cost  of  wood  alone  is 
$1.20  per  case — there  bemg' 500  cases  in  a  carload  means  a  saving  m 
this  one  item  of  $600  per  carload,  or  $180,000  annually. 

Th^re  is  not  a  company  today  who  is  in  the  match  making  busi- 
ness that  can  produce  or  manufacture  matches  as  cheaply  as  The 
Dominion  ^Nfatch  Co..  Ud.,  because  our  machines  are  .so  con- 
structed that  we  eliminate  the  handling  of  matches  by  hand  and 
use  wood  that  costs  us  from  $5.00  to  $10.00  per  thou.sand  feet  as 
against  $65.00  ti^  $80.00  per  thousand  feet  for  white  cork  pme  used 
bv  other  manufacturer^.  The  .saving  in  material  and  labor  by  our
